I have one question, which I will get to eventually. My daughter's

blood (and mine, as one of about 10 healthy controls) was tested by

Stratton for Chlamydia pneumoniae back about 1996. We were tested as

part of a study that was never published.

There were 10 people with CFS in my daughter's group. Dr. Stratton

didn't know who the sick people were and he didn't know who the healthy

people were. But my daughter's doctor knew, and Stratton got it

right--separated the two groups by looking at their blood.

Stratton also didn't know who the sickest people in the sick group

were, but he ranked them in order, and again he got it right. The

doctor said that Stratton correctly ranked my daughter as the most

severely ill.

He said that her blood gave the strongest signal.

So here's my question: What kind of test did he do? Can you tell from

the word " signal? " Can anyone here tell?
